Making New Orleans Music

November 19th, 2008 ~ &BIt's a two-hour walk through streets of the city as we dive into two great eras of New Orleans music. First, it's the 1940s and 50s R hit factory with studio man Cosimo Matassa; producer, arranger, trumpet player Dave Bartholomew; drummer Earl Palmer and more. There's also a chat with The Meters -- Art Neville, George Porter, Leo Nocentelli and Zigaboo Modeliste -- in which we get to the bottom of the bottom, find out what's in the pocket, and get a definition of funk from the four men who continue to dish it out.
